Track on Working with Children, Teens and Their Families

The Children & Teens workshop described above is mandatory for all taking the Children & Teen’s Track.

The focus of the track is on teaching mind-body skills in a child-friendly way, with age appropriate toys and materials that enhance a young person’s understanding of stress reduction and self awareness.

The Children & Teen’s Track includes:

A manual developed by our senior faculty working with children and teens, with plenty of developmentally-appropriate ideas, worksheets, and didactic information which can be used in private, group, school, community and hospital settings

Group coaching as well as individual consultation on participants’ specific situations in working with kids, teens, and families

The opportunity to practice presenting the didactic in children’s terms, along with the adult group “check in”, providing important experience on multi-levels

Pre-requisites:

Studying the PowerPoints provided ahead of the training

Basic reading on child psychology/development, if you are not currently working with children/teens

We recommend that you take this track only if the majority of your work is with children/teens. If you work equally with children and adults, we suggest you come to the Advanced Training twice.

When registering, select the Children’s Track or the Adult Track plus the mini-workshop.
